I plead guilty to failing to check my newsgroup lines in the case of Tom Maddox. That doesn't make those articles flames. The fact that you disagree with me does not make any article I posted to news.groups a flame. Richard Sexton's behind the scenes shenanigans were completely relevant to the subject at hand: whether or not the results of his sci.aquaria vote should be regarded as valid. I committed one flame in response to a series of increasingly heated messages posted by Blair Houghton in comp.lang.c on the subject of article attribution. Followups were directed to alt.dev.null, the best place to put flames. If you have any further complaints, well, put up or shut up. -- _--_|\ Peter da Silva. +1 713 274 5180. . / \ \_.--._/ Xenix Support -- it's not just a job, it's an adventure! v "Have you hugged your wolf today?" `-_-'
